A good friend of mine's husband has been charged with raping a 13 year old girl. I know the family personally and would have never thought he would go there. I figured he was the kind to mess around on his wife a bit with other women, but never considered him a pedophile going after minors. He was arrested and charged and released on $50,000 bond. When he was questioned by investigators he readily admitted to everything that happened and even providing further detail. I assume he will plea bargain and get a minimum of 10 years in prison and must register as a sex offender. This is such a waste as he had just gotten a good job offer to Chicago and was looking to move this summer after their kids were out for the summer break. I am shocked and disappointed. I'll be keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers. I've not heard from my friend in a couple of days but I will call to check on her in the morning. I don't know if the minor was his step daughter who is of similar age or not. I feel awful for the child as I understand what emotions they are dealing with and it is something you never fully 'get over'. I hope counseling is being offered to her as it was never offered to me.
 
The parents in Chicago are thrilled he was caught.
 
Golly. It must have come as a shock to you. I will keep the child in my thoughts.
 
I know, I would rather he be behind bars now knowing he is a pedophile rather running lose on the streets. I'm just shocked that he did and readily admitted to it. I didn't get a chance to call my friend (the wife) to check on her as it was crazy with the weather today. I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through knowing she loved this man and likely had no idea her children were in harm's way. They have one child together that is 4 years old. The older two children are from the wife's previous marriage. This was front page new of our local newspaper. I am sure the entire neighborhood is in shock as everyone on that block knows everyone. I can name half the families on that block. I've not heard anything new today. I will give it some time though.
 
Dixie, how kind to remember that your friend is now his "victim" too. His actions truly must have destated his wife and the children and the community.

She must have so many emotions going on over this. I am glad that you will be there to help her and lend your support.

What a heartbreak for the victim(s) and for all, that such a man could hide who and what he is from so many for so long.

She may be grateful for a shoulder to lean on in this very difficult time.

You seem to very upset too, as is natural. Hope you can help and strengthen one another and the children.

I hope she will be sure that the children are really ok.
 
Wow!

I feel for all involved in this. I hope that they throw the book at him! My thoughts and prayers are with the child he abused; the wife and his kids! (You too, Dix) :hug:

I feel really bad for the child ,this really does feel emotional scars on a child. It really horrible for your friend too she is lucky to have you for a friend. Some people do not know what to do or say and end up doing nothing! That is a shame you did not get any counseling as a child.
My older sister was raped by our ex brother and it really left a lot emotional scars on my sister for years.
 
I found out further horrifying news, the girl he raped was his 13 year old step daughter. :( This had been going on since she was 12. I just feel bad for her. I am also told my friends father (the girls grandfather) is looking for the bastard as he is out on a $50,000 bond. I don't blame him. I'm surprised the grandfather hasn't killed him yet. :shock:

I'm hoping the judge throws the book at the step-father.
 
w....o.....w.....
 
Far as I know my friend and her children are currently staying with her parents until the finalization and they may or may not move back to their house. They may try to sell it and move closer to my friend's parents which is 20 miles west of here. Her children will still go to the local school. (we have a large school district in terms of land size, but very small in student population). Whatever she decides to do I will support her and lend her a hand. She says she would like to start walking in the evenings with me when the weather warms up. I think she needs someone to talk to and I will lend my ear and shoulder.

As for the ewww factor - you would be surprised at how many step-fathers rape their step-children and force the child to stay quiet through threats and punishments. Sometimes the spouse knows sometimes they don't. In this case, my friend had no clue at all and just chalked up her daughters moodiness to typical teenage hormones. I don't know what the statistics are but I know it's not completely unheard of for a step-father to go after a teenage step-daughter. But when it happens it's devastating not just for the child, but for the family. I have no sympathy at all for the pedo step-father.
